Dance Tilda Dance

Hi peeps, hope you are all well, we are back from a lovely week in Scotland spent with the family. Lots of craft shopping was done, I even managed a visit to the fabulous Simply Create in rural Aberdeen, er well 2 actually the first time it was half day closing...........I just assumed it would be open!!! Oh well it's only a 250 mile round trip from Kinross.......Lol. Yes I am a tad mad but I tell you once I had seen the yumminess through the windows I had to get in that shop!!!

Anyhow we managed to make a day of it the second time around and the first visit was combined with a visit to see the fab Deb (Wiccababe), loved meeting you and the little one Debz.

Anyway, whilst I was in my mother in-laws local craft shop, Stampaholics in Perth I saw a card I just had to case, I made a few minor changes but here it is:

How cute is Tilda, she is still in stock here, I just had to snap mine up.
The sentiment is from a My Favourite things set I got from Stampeezee, here. I thought it went perfect with this Tilda.

The punch is Martha Stewarts Pinking Scallop, my mother in law pipped me to the last one in Stampaholics, but I discovered Stampeezee have them to, Yay!!

Anyhow, some bling and some Diamond stickles later and voila, it was finished..........well actually it took me hours!!!!! Lol. I just loved the simplicity of this card, hope you like it.

Have a great wekend.

Passion for Promarkers

Hi to all in blogland and apologies for my lack of blogging and comment leaving, I have been rushed off my feet lately & working late hours I just don't seem to have time for my fave hobby & I am constantly fighting for the computer with hubby and my 13 year old!!!

Anyway over at Passion For Promarkers the lovely Gina has created us a lovely sketch to use this week and has let us have a free run on the colours. Hubby surprised me with some of the new Magnolia Halloween collection so I just had to use one of my Tilda witches, isn't she just adorable............I am a bit Halloween obsessed to be honest, not sure why, I think its just a fun time of the year...............sometimes spoiled by 'Hoodies' knocking your door with only a mask on with their hands out......LOL



Anyway, I stamped Tilda in black memento Ink onto Stampin Up Whisper White cardstock & coloured her in the following Promarkers:

Cool grey 1, 2 & 5, Aubergine, amber, gold, pumpkin, pastel pink, dusky pink, lavender, purple, caramel, sandstone, cocoa, umber & Blush.

I used the delish Pixie sticks Halloween Imaginisce papers available here, the web is an old Magnolia stamp & the sentiment is by CC designs available here

The inside:

The sentiment is from the same CC design set & the spider is again an old Magnolia stamp, I used my new Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch that the fab Deb of Stampeezee got me, thanks Deb you are a star

Do check out the rest of the DT cards, they are all fab as usual

Passion for Promarkers & Basic Grey

Another week has flown by & time for another PFP challenge which this week is sponsered by www.yellowmoon.org.uk who are offering a £10 voucher to spend on their site.

Onto this weeks challenge, Natalie has chosen the yummy colours Cocoa & Rose Pink.

I have used a sweet Sugar Nellie Stamp called 'Reflective', which I have had months and never used ............yes I know it's criminal!!!! She has been coloured with Promarkers as follows:

Blush, Dusky Pink, Blossom, Rose Pink, Cocoa, Umber, Sandstone Grass & apple,

I followed the fab sketch from the revived Basic Grey challenge blog, and used my Sultry papers to qualify for the challenge. The Brown cardstock is SU & the Pink is Papermill. Iused my MS Doily lace punch for the Pink strip & the flower was created with the small and medium retro flower punches.

The sentiment is from the Stampin up 'Best Yet' hostess set & was punched out with the small SU Tag punch & layered on to the large, the ribbon & brads are from my stash.

By the way, I gave the man at work the card for his wife & I am not sure he liked it, it took him a while to say anything about it then about said it was OK, I ended up giving it him for nothing as I felt a bit cheeky charging for it........................needless to say after all the stress it caused me over the weekend & the cost I will not be doing anymore unless it is something they have already seen & liked!!!!!!

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment as I love reading them.

Yay it's PFP time again and this week Michelle has designed a fabby sketch for us to follow and allowed the use of any colour Promarkers, I have just adopted Magnolia Gloria the hippo from Stampeezee and was itching to use her, i teamed her up with MME Asparagus papers which I have inked & distressed to qualify for the Just Magnolia & Simon Says Stamp challenges.

The sentiment is Penny Black........again and the flowers are from Papriloftet and my stash. The leaves were created with my Martha Stewart Frond punch available from Stampeezee , talking of which they have just taken delivery of Magnolia designer paper, it is lovely check it out here. I treated gloria & the flowers to some crystal stickles, not sure if you can see it clearly in the pic.
